Field Summary

static int	RETURN_ACCEPT_DIFFERENCE Standard return value for the differenceFound method.
static int	RETURN_IGNORE_DIFFERENCE_NODES_IDENTICAL Override return value for the differenceFound method.
static int	RETURN_IGNORE_DIFFERENCE_NODES_SIMILAR Override return value for the differenceFound method.

Method Summary

int	differenceFound(Difference difference) Receive notification that 2 nodes are different.
void	skippedComparison(org.w3c.dom.Node control, org.w3c.dom.Node test) Receive notification that a comparison between 2 nodes has been skipped because the node types are not comparable by the DifferenceEngine

Method Detail

differenceFound

int differenceFound(Difference difference)

Receive notification that 2 nodes are different.

Parameters:

difference - a Difference instance as defined in DifferenceConstants describing the cause of the difference and containing the detail of the nodes that differ

Returns:

int one of the RETURN_... constants describing how this difference was interpreted

skippedComparison

void skippedComparison(org.w3c.dom.Node control,
                       org.w3c.dom.Node test)

Receive notification that a comparison between 2 nodes has been skipped because the node types are not comparable by the DifferenceEngine

Parameters:

control - the control node being compared

test - the test node being compared
